Reportedly, fire around Arna village was said to be dangerously close to inhabited area and is being doused on priority. The hill station of the state which is frequented by dozens of tourists, witnessed the massive fire on April 14. Close to the famous sunset point on Mount Abu it prompted the district administration to seek IAF's assistance. Since April 14, a total of 100 shuttles have been executed so far delivering over 2.60 lakh litres of water.
